    Vivo X300 Ultra vs OPPO Find X9 Ultra — ZEISS vs Hasselblad

    The camera of the Vivo X300 Ultra and the camera of the OPPO Find X9 Ultra are the two most ambitious photographic systems in smartphones of 2026. Both have a dual 200 MP setup, but differ in philosophy and zoom range.

    Main camera — the same sensor, different approach

    Both phones use the same Sony LYT-901 sensor (1/1.12″) — one of the largest in smartphones. The key difference lies in the optics:

    Vivo X300 Ultra has a brighter telephoto lens with gimbal OIS stabilization and ZEISS T* certification (anti-reflective coatings). The f/1.85 aperture is a solid result.

    OPPO Find X9 Ultra according to leaks goes further with an aperture of f/1.5 — it’s one of the brightest optics in smartphone history (some sources report f/1.8, official data will be revealed on April 21). A brighter lens means more light on the sensor, which translates to better photos in low light. Hasselblad calibration gives photos a characteristic, warm tone.

    OPPO’s advantage in the brightness of the main lens (f/1.5 vs f/1.85). Vivo responds with gimbal stabilization, which can provide sharper images at longer exposure times.

    Zoom – this is where the biggest difference lies

    This is the key point of this comparison.

    Vivo X300 Ultra has one 200 MP telephoto lens with 3.7× optical zoom (85 mm) and an optional ZEISS 400 mm G2 Ultra teleconverter, which provides 17.4× optical zoom. In the range of 3.7-17×, it is the best zoom system in a smartphone — but the teleconverter is purchased separately.

    OPPO Find X9 Ultra has two telephoto lenses: 200 MP 3× periscope (70 mm) and 50 MP 10× periscope (230 mm) — both built into the phone. You don’t need any accessories to achieve 10× optical zoom. Lossless zoom reaches up to 40-50× thanks to computations.

    In the range of 3-5× both phones will deliver excellent photos from the 200 MP sensors. Above 5× OPPO has a built-in 10× zoom, while Vivo needs a teleconverter. But with the teleconverter, Vivo achieves 17.4× at full 200 MP — a range unavailable to any other smartphone.

    OPPO wins in versatility (triple zoom without accessories), Vivo wins in maximum range (400 mm with teleconverter).

    Ultrawide

    Here Vivo X300 Ultra has a significant advantage. The Sony LYTIA 818 (1/1.28″) sensor is much larger than the Sony LYT-600 (1/1.95″) in OPPO. Additionally, the ultrawide Vivo has its own OIS stabilization, which is lacking in OPPO.

    A larger sensor and OIS clearly result in better ultrawide photos, especially in low light and when recording video.

    Vivo X300 Ultra wins — the 1/1.28″ sensor with OIS is in a different league.

    Night Photos

    Both phones use the same main sensor, the Sony LYT-901, but OPPO has a brighter lens (f/1.5 vs f/1.85). In theory, this provides about 40% more light on the sensor, which should translate to better night photos from the main camera.

    Vivo responds with gimbal stabilization OIS, which allows for longer exposure times without blur. In practice, both approaches yield great results at night.

    Slight advantage for OPPO due to a potentially brighter lens — but the final aperture will be confirmed at the premiere, and the real difference in photo quality will only be visible after independent tests.

    Video

    Vivo X300 Ultra dominates in video:
    4K/120 fps 10-bit Log on all lenses (main, tele, ultrawide)
    APV 422 encoding and ACES workflow
    – 8K/30 fps, Dolby Vision HDR

    OPPO Find X9 Ultra according to current information records 4K/120 fps with 10-bit color and Dolby Vision HDR. Log recording and 8K have not yet been confirmed by OPPO — the predecessor Find X9 Pro supported Log up to 4K/120 with ACES, so the Ultra model likely offers this as well. Full details will be revealed after the premiere on April 21.

    Vivo wins video — 10-bit Log on every lens and APV 422 are professional tools. For stable video recording in motion, a tripod or gimbal for your phone will come in handy.

    Build, weight, and water resistance

    Both phones have IP68 and IP69 certifications — they can withstand immersion in water and a stream of hot water under pressure. Taking photos in the rain is not a problem.

    OPPO Find X9 Ultra is slightly thicker (9.15 mm vs 8.19 mm for Vivo) and weighs 235-238 g. Available in three color variants with eco-leather: Polar Glacier (light blue), Sand Canyon (orange), and Earth Tundra (dark brown). It has a dedicated camera button (Camera Quick Launch) and a quick access button Plus Key.

    Vivo X300 Ultra is slimmer (8.19 mm) and weighs 232-237 g. Available in black, silver, and green with an Armor Glass finish. Both phones have an infrared emitter (IR blaster).

    Draw — Vivo is slimmer, OPPO has a more interesting design with eco-leather and a dedicated camera button.

    Camera Vivo X300 Ultra vs Xiaomi 17 Ultra — which one takes better photos?

    This is where the real fun begins — the camera of the Vivo X300 Ultra and the camera of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra approach mobile photography from completely different angles.

    Camera Philosophy

    Vivo X300 Ultra is a “technologist” — it focuses on raw specification power. The dual 200 MP sensor (main Sony LYT-901, f/1.85 + telephoto Samsung HP0, f/2.3) provides a huge field for framing and digital zooming. OIS stabilization at gimbal level and ZEISS T* certification on the main lens are parameters rarely seen in smartphones. Additionally, the ultra-wide lens with a large Sony LYTIA 818 sensor (1/1.28″) — significantly larger than the competition.

    Xiaomi 17 Ultra is an “artist” — a 1-inch main sensor with LOFIC technology (hardware HDR without frame merging) and a mechanical optical zoom of 75-100 mm are solutions known from professional cameras. Collaboration with Leica translates into characteristic color reproduction and emulation of Leica M9 films.

    Daytime photo quality

    In good lighting, Vivo X300 Ultra produces more neutral, true-to-life colors. Photos from the 200 MP sensor have an enormous amount of detail — when cropped to a lower resolution, the effect is incredibly sharp.

    Xiaomi 17 Ultra with a 1-inch sensor captures more light and creates a more natural background blur (bokeh). Colors in Leica Vibrant mode are warmer and more saturated, while in Leica Authentic mode — truer, with the characteristic “leica look”.

    Draw. Vivo wins in detail and resolution, Xiaomi — in atmosphere and color reproduction. The choice depends on the photography style.

    Night mode photos

    Here, Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a clear advantage. The 1-inch sensor with LOFIC technology processes exposure information at the hardware level, resulting in more balanced night photos without the typical artifacts from merging multiple frames.

    Vivo X300 Ultra performs well thanks to CIPA 7.0 stabilization, which allows for longer exposure times without blurring. In practice, both phones deliver excellent results at night, but Xiaomi retains more detail in shadows and better controls noise.

    Xiaomi 17 Ultra wins — the LOFIC sensor is a real advantage in low light.

    Zoom and telephoto lens

    This is the key difference between the two phones.

    Vivo X300 Ultra offers a 200 MP telephoto lens with a focal length of 85 mm (3.7× optical zoom). Additionally, there is an optional ZEISS 400 mm G2 Ultra teleconverter, which provides up to 17.4× optical zoom at full 200 MP resolution. This is a record among smartphones.

    Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a 200 MP telephoto lens with mechanical optical zoom of 75-100 mm (3.2-4.3×). This is the first such solution in a smartphone — a movable optical element provides true optical zoom without quality loss across the entire focal range.

    At close-ups of 3-5×, Xiaomi delivers sharper images because it uses optical zoom without digital cropping. Above 5×, Vivo takes the lead — with the teleconverter, it achieves ranges unavailable to any other smartphone.

    Vivo wins in range, Xiaomi — in photo quality in the popular 3-5× range. The ZEISS teleconverter is a powerful accessory, but you buy it separately.

    If you plan to record professional video on your smartphone, a tripod or gimbal for your phone. will also be useful.

    Ultrawide

    Both phones have 50 MP ultrawide lenses with similar fields of view (~116°), but the Vivo X300 Ultra has a huge advantage with its 1/1.28″ Sony LYTIA 818 sensor — that’s more than twice the size of the Samsung JN5 (1/2.75″) in the Xiaomi. Additionally, the ultrawide Vivo has its own OIS stabilization.

    In practice, the Vivo X300 Ultra should provide significantly better ultrawide photos, especially in low light, thanks to the larger sensor and stabilization.

    The Vivo X300 Ultra wins — the 1/1.28″ sensor with OIS is in a completely different league than the 1/2.75″ without stabilization.

    Video

    Both phones record in 8K/30 fps, 4K/120 fps Log with support for ACES and Dolby Vision — this is currently the absolute top of smartphone video. The differences lie in the details:

    Vivo X300 Ultra:
    4K/120 fps 10-bit Vivo Log on all lenses (main, tele, ultra-wide)
    – Encoding APV 422 (more efficient format than H.265)
    – Dolby Vision HDR, 8K/30 fps

    Xiaomi 17 Ultra:
    4K/120 fps Log with ACES support (Academy Color Encoding System)
    – Super slow-motion 1080p up to 1920 fps
    – Leica film modes (warm color rendition)
    – ShootSteady recording up to 2.8K/60 fps (advanced stabilization)
    – Dolby Vision HDR, 8K/30 fps

    Both of these machines offer professional video tools — Log, ACES, and 4K/120. The key advantage of Vivo is 10-bit Log on every lens (not just the main one) and APV 422 encoding. Xiaomi, on the other hand, offers super slow-motion 1080p/1920 fps and ShootSteady stabilization — ideal for dynamic shots in motion.

    Tie in video — both phones are professional filmmaking tools. Vivo has better encoding (APV 422) and Log on all lenses, Xiaomi has better slow-motion and stabilization. For stable video recording in motion, a selfie stick with tripod function will also work well.

    Screen — does 2K resolution make a difference?

    Vivo leads in all screen parameters — 2K vs FHD+, 144 Hz vs 120 Hz, and 4500 nits peak brightness (claimed) vs 3500 nits from Xiaomi. ZEISS Master Color calibration is an additional bonus for photographers who want to evaluate photos directly on the phone’s screen.

    Xiaomi counters with adaptive LTPO refresh rate, which saves battery by lowering the frequency to 1 Hz when sufficient. The Xiaomi screen offers 12-bit color depth and TÜV Rheinland certifications (Low Blue Light, Flicker Free).

    Vivo wins with the screen — higher resolution, faster refresh rate, and brighter panel. Xiaomi counters with better color depth (12-bit) and eye protection certifications.

    The Vivo X300 Ultra has a significantly larger battery — 6600 or even 7000 mAh (depending on the variant) with a silicon-carbon cell, compared to 6000 mAh in the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Faster wired charging (100 W vs 90 W) is an additional advantage. In tests, EPREL showed that Vivo achieved about 57 hours of operation, placing it among the top smartphones. Both phones support reverse charging — you can charge headphones, a watch, or even a second phone with them.

    The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has better wireless charging (50 W vs 40 W) and stronger wired reverse charging (22.5 W). In everyday use, both phones easily last a full day of intensive photography.

    Vivo wins in battery capacity (even 1000 mAh more), Xiaomi in wireless and reverse charging.

    Build, weight, and water resistance

    You will take both phones in your hand and feel the difference — Xiaomi is about 13-19 g lighter. With similar dimensions (~163 × 77 × 8.2-8.3 mm), every gram matters during long photography sessions.

    Vivo X300 Ultra has IP68 and IP69 certifications — it can withstand immersion in water and a stream of hot water under pressure. Xiaomi 17 Ultra has an IP68 certification (immersion up to 6 m for 30 minutes). Taking photos in the rain or near water is not a problem for either of them.

    Xiaomi 17 Ultra weighs 218.4 g (Black/White) or 219 g (Starlit Green). Available in three colors: black, white, and green. Both phones have an infrared emitter (IR blaster) for controlling home appliances.

    Vivo X300 Ultra weighs 232-237 g (the black is lighter, the green is heavier) and has Armor Glass on the back. The construction is massive but solid — the aluminum frame and flat edges provide a secure grip. Available in black, silver, and green.

    Vivo wins with IP protection (IP68+IP69 vs just IP68), but Xiaomi wins with weight — it is noticeably lighter.

    Price in Poland — how much does each flagship cost?

    The launch price of Xiaomi 17 Ultra was 6499 PLN for the 16/512 GB version, but it can currently be purchased from 5295 PLN. The official prices for this model in Poland have not yet been announced, but leaks suggest that Vivo X300 Ultra may cost around 7999 PLN for the 16 GB / 1 TB version.

    Both phones have dedicated photography grips (Xiaomi Photography Kit, SmallRig Kit for Vivo), but you buy them separately. The ZEISS 400 mm teleconverter is a unique accessory that has no equivalent among competitors. The quality-to-price ratio favors Xiaomi — but Vivo with the pre-sale set levels the playing field.

  • New Car — 5 Elements You Should Wrap with Film Right Away

    New Car — 5 Elements You Should Wrap with Film Right Away

    A new car loses its factory appearance the fastest in 5 places: on the door sills, piano black interior, door handle recesses, multimedia screen, and trunk edge pillars. Protective film for a new car protects these elements for 45 PLN per set and you can install it yourself in 30–60 minutes — that’s a fraction of the cost of restoring scratched paint at a body shop.

    Do you know what the worst thing about a new car is? That moment when you first notice a scratch that wasn’t there before. On the threshold when getting in with shoes, on the piano black from the jacket sleeve, on the handle from a ring. After a few months, the elegant interior is left with a map of micro-scratches. The good news — most of these problems can be avoided if you take care of a few key areas right after picking up the car.

    Why is protective film for a new car a necessity?

    New cars have more delicate surfaces than ever. Manufacturers are cutting costs on paints, using thin layers of clear coat and increasingly more piano black plastics in the interior. The effect? It only takes a few weeks for a brand new car to look used.

    Three reasons to apply protective film to a new car:

    • Protection of residual value — cars with protected paint and interior achieve 10–20% higher resale prices
    • Cost savings — restoring a threshold at a body shop costs 300–800 PLN, while film for thresholds starts at 45 PLN
    • Full reversibility — PPF (Paint Protection Film) comes off without a trace, does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty

    The best time to apply the film is the first week after pickup — the elements are perfectly clean, without scratches, and the film will preserve the factory condition for years.

    How does PPF protective film work on a new car?

    PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a multi-layer polyurethane (TPU) film with a thickness of 150–200 microns. The top layer is a self-healing topcoat that seals minor scratches when exposed to heat — just pour warm water on the film, and the small scratches disappear.

    Unlike films sold by the meter (which require professional cutting and installation), at homescreen.pl you will find ready-made GrizzGlass kits tailored to specific car models. Each element is precisely cut to the dimensions of a given car — Volkswagen Passat B9, Toyota Corolla, BMW Series 3, or Tesla Model 3 Highland. Installation takes 30–60 minutes and does not require detailing experience.

    5 elements of a new car that are worth wrapping with film right away

    Below you will find a list of the five most vulnerable elements along with ready-made solutions from the car accessories homescreen.pl offer.

    1. Door sills — most prone to scratches

    The most important element to protect in a new car

    Door thresholds are number one on this list — and there’s no exception. Every time you get in and out, there’s contact with shoes, belt buckles, bags, and suitcases. After a month of daily use, the first scratches appear on the thresholds, and after a year, the surface looks like it’s been sanded.

    GrizzGlass BodyShield films for thresholds are a carbon or matte laminate resistant to scratches, available in ready-made sets tailored to specific car models. They cover the entire visible area of the threshold — from the outer edge to the inner trim.

    What it protects:
    – Outer edge of the threshold (contact with shoes)
    – Inner threshold trim
    – Corners by the doors

    Cost: from 45 PLN for a set for one car model

    Alternative at a paint shop: 300–800 PLN for the renovation of one scratched threshold

    2. Piano black interiors — scratches from just a glance

    Element number one for interior protection

    Piano black is the name of the glossy black finish on the plastic elements of the dashboard, center console, screen frames, and door trims. It looks fantastic — until the first touch. The material has this terrible characteristic of scratching from the slightest contact. Fingernails, the sleeve of a sweater, and even dust particles wiped with a dry cloth leave visible marks.

    GrizzGlass PianoSkin is a set of precisely cut films tailored to a specific car model. Available in Glossy (maintains the original shine) and Matte (changes the finish to satin, which does not collect fingerprints).

    What it protects:
    – Center panel and central console
    – Multimedia screen frame
    – Door trims and gear shift lever cover
    – Dashboard elements

    Cost: from 112 PLN per set

    Tip: The matte PianoSkin variant has an additional advantage — on the matte surface, fingerprints and minor scratches are practically invisible.

    If you want to know the details, read our full guide: Piano black in the car — how to protect against scratches.

    3. Handle recesses — invisible scratches that are visible up close

    Element most often overlooked by drivers

    The door handle recesses — the space around the handle where you insert your fingers — is an area that gets scratched by nails, rings, and keys. The problem is universal: regardless of the car model, after a few months, a dull haze of fine scratches appears around the handles. Invisible from a distance, they spoil the appearance of an expensive car up close.

    GrizzGlass BodyShield films for handles are precisely cut elements that cover exactly those parts of the body that get damaged. Transparent, self-healing, they do not affect the appearance of the car.

    What it protects:
    – The inner surface of the handle recess
    – The edge of the door around the handle
    – The handles themselves (in selected sets)

    Cost: from 35 PLN for a set (complete set of 2–4 handles)

    4. Multimedia screen — getting larger, increasingly exposed

    An increasingly important element — screens are growing, and their replacement costs a fortune

    Displays in modern cars range from 8 to 24 inches diagonally and are often priced in the thousands of zlotys when replaced. The central display is touched daily — fingerprints, dust, scratches from jewelry are a daily occurrence. Some new cars have a protective glass, but most use plastic panels that scratch easily.

    GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection is available in two variants:

    VariantEffectFor whom
    CeramicMaintains full clarityPeople who value the original appearance
    Matte (PaperScreen)Reduces glare, improves readability in sunlightDrivers frequently driving in the sun

    What it protects:
    – Central multimedia display
    – Digital clock / virtual cockpit (in selected models)
    – Air conditioning screen

    Cost: from 110 PLN for the screen film (110–220 PLN depending on size)

    5. B/C Pillars and Trunk Edge — Hidden Areas That Wear Out Quickly

    An element you will think about only when you see scratches

    B and C pillars (between the doors and behind the rear doors) and the trunk edge are two areas that in new cars are painted with a high gloss or piano black finish. The problem? Passengers lean their bags against them, get in with dirty shoes, and the trunk collects scratches from suitcases, boxes, and shopping.

    GrizzGlass BodyShield for pillars and trunk edges covers these elements with a film that is practically invisible and protects against scratches and chips.

    What it protects:
    – B pillar (between the driver’s door and the rear doors)
    – C pillar (behind the rear doors)
    – Trunk lid edge
    – Rear bumper (in some kits)

    Cost: from 45 PLN for a set for one car model

    Cost Comparison — Film vs Paint Shop

    Why is it worth investing in protective films right away? Here are the specific numbers.

    ElementFilm Cost (DIY)Paint Shop RenovationSaving
    Door Sills (4 pcs.)45–120 PLN1,200–3,200 PLNup to 3,080 PLN

    TOTAL345–1,010 PLN5,100–9,900 PLNup to 8,890 PLN

    Complete protection of a new car with film costs less than 1,000 PLN with self-installation. A visit to the paint shop after a year of use — even 10 times more.

    Which car brands does GrizzGlass support?

    The kits are tailored to over 20 brands of cars and hundreds of specific models, including:

    BrandLink to category

    When is the best time to wrap a new car in film?

    Answer: in the first week after pickup. There are three reasons.

    First of all — the elements are then in perfect condition. No scratches, no fingerprints, no dust embedded in micro-cracks. The film will preserve the factory look and protect against scratches.

    Secondly — a new car usually sits in the garage for the first few days. You have time and peace for installation. Then routine sets in and constant postponement occurs.

    Thirdly — later you will have to polish the scratches first before applying the film, which takes extra time and requires experience. Installation on a new car is simpler and faster.

    Tip: Order the film kits before picking up the car. They should be ready on the day you take the car from the dealership — you dedicate the first weekend to installation, and then enjoy your new car without worries about scratches.

    Summary

    A new car deserves protection from day one. Five elements worth wrapping in film right away are: door sills, piano black interior, handle recesses, multimedia screen, and B/C pillars with the edge of the trunk. A complete film kit for all these areas costs from 345 PLN with self-installation — that’s a fraction of the costs of later refurbishment at a paint shop, which can amount to even 10,000 PLN.

    FAQ — frequently asked questions

    Is it worth wrapping a new car with film?

    Yes, especially if you plan to use the car for more than 2 years. The protective film protects against scratches in the areas most exposed to damage — thresholds, piano black, screen — and maintains the factory appearance for years. The cost of DIY kits (starting from 45 PLN per item) is many times lower than later renovation at a paint shop.

    How much does it cost to wrap a new car with film?

    Complete protection of the five most important elements (thresholds, piano black, handles, screen, pillars) costs 345–1,010 PLN with self-installation of GrizzGlass kits. Professional wrapping at a detailing studio costs 3,000–8,000 PLN. The film for the entire body PPF costs from 6,000 PLN upwards.

    Can PPF film be applied by oneself?

    Yes — the GrizzGlass PianoSkin and BodyShield kits are designed for DIY installation. The package includes precisely cut parts, mounting gel, a squeegee, microfiber cloth, and instructions. Installing one part takes 10–20 minutes and does not require detailing experience. A complete kit for the whole car takes about 1–2 hours.

    Does the protective film void the manufacturer’s warranty?

    No. GrizzGlass PPF films are fully reversible — they can be removed without a trace at any time. They do not affect the paint warranty or other components of the car. Additionally, they are invisible, so they do not change the appearance of the car in the eyes of the insurer.

    Which parts of a new car are most prone to scratches?

    The most commonly scratched parts are: door sills (when getting in), piano black in the cabin (from sleeves and dust), door handle recesses (from nails and rings), multimedia screen (from fingers), and trunk edge (from suitcases and shopping). These five areas are worth protecting with film immediately after picking up the car.

    Can GrizzGlass films be used on Chinese brand cars?

    Yes — at homescreen.pl you will find films tailored for models such as Chery Tiggo, Jetour X70, and other Chinese brand models. Check the category films for other cars, where all brands outside the list of major European, American, and Japanese manufacturers are collected.

  • Vivo Pad 6 Pro — premiere of the tablet with a 4K display

    Vivo Pad 6 Pro — premiere of the tablet with a 4K display

    Vivo Pad 6 Pro is the flagship tablet with a 13.2-inch 4K display (3840 x 2512 px) with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor (3 nm), and a 13,000 mAh battery with 66 W charging. It has 8 speakers with Super Audio 7.0, supports the Vivo Pencil 3 with 16,384 levels of pressure, and a keyboard with a touchpad. Premiere: March 30, 2026 (China), Europe 2026. Price starting from ~2500 PLN (8/256 GB).

    This is the most ambitious tablet Vivo has ever made — and the first one showcased at MWC 2026 in Barcelona with the European market in mind. The 4K display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, a VC cooling system with an area of over 71,000 mm², and up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM — everything indicates a direct attack on the iPad Air and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE.

    ColorsInspiration Purple, Relax Blue, Free Gray

    4K 144 Hz Display — The Sharpest in Class

    The most important element of the Vivo Pad 6 Pro is the 13.2-inch IPS LCD panel with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2512 pixels) with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The 144 Hz refresh rate and 540 Hz touch sampling ensure smoothness both when scrolling pages and drawing with a stylus.

    The peak brightness reaches 1200 nits, and the color accuracy with a Delta E value of ≈ 0.8 makes the tablet suitable for photo and video editing. The panel displays a billion colors in the P3 palette and supports Dolby Vision — movies look truly cinematic on it.

    Proportions 3:2 are a thoughtful choice — compared to the typical 16:10, you gain more vertical space, which you’ll appreciate when working with documents, browsing websites, and drawing. It’s the same aspect ratio that Microsoft uses in the Surface Pro.

    Good to know: Vivo chose IPS LCD instead of OLED — this means no risk of screen burn-in and a lower price, but also weaker contrasts in low light. In daytime use, the difference is minimal thanks to TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light emission.

    Performance — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

    The performance is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the most powerful Qualcomm processor manufactured using a 3 nm process. The Oryon V3 Phoenix cores reach clock speeds of up to 4.6 GHz, and the Adreno 840 GPU handles even the most demanding mobile games at the highest settings.

    In the AnTuTu benchmark, the tablet scores over 2 million points — that’s flagship smartphone territory and more than any other Android tablet on the market. The UFS 4.1 and LPDDR5X memory ensure lightning-fast data write and read speeds.

    The VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system with an area of 71,446 mm² keeps the temperature under control even during long gaming sessions or video rendering. You have as many as four variants to choose from:

    • 8/256 GB — for multimedia and everyday work
    • 12/256 GB — optimal for most users
    • 12/512 GB — for content creators with a large file library
    • 16/512 GB — for professionals and power users

    The tablet runs on Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 overlay, which introduces floating windows, desktop mode, and a split screen activated by a two-finger gesture.

    13,000 mAh Battery — up to two days of work

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro is equipped with a 13,000 mAh battery — one of the largest in any tablet on the market. For comparison: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE has 10,090 mAh, and the iPad Air has a battery capacity of ~36 Wh (~9500 mAh equivalent).

    In practice, this means:

    • Up to 13 hours of continuous video playback
    • Up to 78 days in standby mode
    • All day of intensive work with documents, browsing, and multimedia

    Charging 66 W replenishes the battery in a reasonable time — it’s not a speed record, but with a capacity of 13,000 mAh, it’s a good result. To charge, you need a USB-C cable and a wall charger with a minimum power of 66 W.

    8 speakers and Dolby Vision

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro has 8 speakers arranged panoramically around the body — that’s twice as many as in the iPad Air or Galaxy Tab S10 FE. The Super Audio 7.0 technology simulates surround sound, and the system automatically adjusts the stereo channels to the tablet’s orientation.

    Combined with a 4K display and support for Dolby Vision, this tablet turns into a portable mini-cinema. With a thickness of just 6.2 mm and a weight of 663 g, it can still be held in hand, although for longer movie sessions, it’s worth getting a holder or stand.

    Vivo Pad 6 Pro — tablet with keyboard in work mode

    Stylus and keyboard — a tablet for work

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro supports two key accessories (sold separately):

    Vivo Pencil 3 — a stylus with 16,384 pressure levels, a linear motor simulating paper resistance, and a dual tip (soft and hard). It charges magnetically on the tablet’s case and lasts about 15 hours on a single charge. The button on the body allows you to switch drawing modes.

    Smart Touch Keyboard 6 Pro — a keyboard with a full-surface touchpad, magnetically connected via a pogo-pin connector. Adjustable tilt angle up to 140 degrees and a dedicated AI assistant key. In desktop mode, OriginOS 6 turns the tablet into a quasi-laptop with application windows, a taskbar, and mouse support.

    The Vivo tablet outperforms its Android competitors in screen resolution (the only 4K), battery capacity (13,000 mAh), and number of speakers (8). Samsung counters with the included S Pen and better app support in One UI. The iPad Air M3 offers an unmatched app ecosystem but costs more than twice as much.

    Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro is the closest price competitor — offering solid specifications for ~2000 PLN, but with a smaller 11.2-inch screen and lower resolution.

    When the Vivo tablet hits the Polish market, it is worth taking care of a case for Vivo Pad tablets right away — the aluminum casing looks premium but is prone to scratches and dents.

    Summary

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro is the most powerful Android tablet on the market in 2026 — 4K 144 Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 13,000 mAh and 8 speakers in a body that is only 6.2 mm thick.

    Vivo V70 is a smartphone with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, a triple ZEISS camera with a 3x periscope telephoto lens, and a 5000 nit display — priced at 3099 PLN (promo 2699 PLN). Vivo V70 FE offers a 200 MP sensor, a 7000 mAh battery, and a glow-in-the-dark casing for 2099 PLN (promo 1799 PLN). Both models have an IP68/IP69 certification, 90 W charging, and Android 16.

    Vivo V70 and Vivo V70 FE will hit the Polish market in 2026 as some of the most interesting proposals in the mid-range segment. Both models share the IP68/IP69 certification, 90 W fast charging, and Android 16 system, but apart from that, they are two completely different smartphones — aimed at different users.

    Vivo V70 focuses on the ZEISS camera with a periscope telephoto lens and faster UFS 4.1 memory. The V70 FE (Fashion Edition) features a 7000 mAh battery, a larger 6.83-inch display, and a 200 MP sensor — at a lower price. Which one suits you? Let’s compare.

    Vivo V70 vs V70 FE — key differences

    Vivo V70 Camera — ZEISS with Zoom or 200 MP?

    This is the biggest difference between these models and also the most important selection criterion.

    Vivo V70 offers a triple ZEISS system with a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens and 3x optical zoom — something that practically does not exist in the competition at a price below 3500 PLN. ZEISS optics are present in all four lenses (three on the back + selfie), and it records video in 4K at 60 fps with dual stabilization OIS + EIS. The telephoto lens is great for portraits, concert photos, and street photography — it provides natural perspective compression without digital artifacts.

    Vivo V70 FE focuses on raw resolution — the Samsung HP5 200 MP sensor with a 1/1.56 inch matrix. In good light, the photos are full of details, especially in cropped landscape shots. The 30x SuperZoom feature uses excess pixels for digital zooming, but the quality at higher zoom levels does not match the optical telephoto lens of the V70. There is also no separate telephoto lens and ZEISS branding.

    Additionally, there are AI features common to both models:

    • AI Night Mode — frame merging for night photos with noise reduction
    • AI Portrait — background blur with precise subject cutout
    • Scene Detection — automatic recognition of scene types

    Tip: If you often take photos from a distance (concerts, sports, children at the playground), the telephoto lens in the V70 is a game-changer. If you prefer cropping from large files or mainly take selfies and landscapes — the V70 FE will suffice.

    Performance — Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7360 Turbo

    Vivo V70 is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 — the latest Qualcomm chip manufactured using a 4 nm process. In the AnTuTu benchmark, it scores over 1.48 million points, placing it well above typical mid-range devices. The Adreno 722 GPU allows for playing Genshin Impact and PUBG at high settings. The UFS 4.1 storage means faster read and write speeds — applications launch noticeably smoother than on UFS 3.1.

    Vivo V70 FE features Dimensity 7360 Turbo — a solid but slower processor. In everyday use — browsing, social media, navigation — the difference is negligible. The gap widens in gaming and multitasking. It has UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 (without X), which is an earlier generation.

    Both models have a VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system and run on Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 overlay. The manufacturer promises 4 years of system updates and 6 years of security patches. Shared additional features include infrared port (IR), NFC, and Bluetooth 5.4 — the V70 adds Wi-Fi 7 to this.

    Battery — 6500 vs 7000 mAh

    Both models use silicon-carbon (Si/C) cells, which are denser in energy than traditional lithium-polymer ones. The 90 W FlashCharge charges the battery from 0 to 100% in about an hour in both cases.

    V70 FE wins in capacity — 7000 mAh is one of the largest batteries in the segment. The portal GSMArena awarded it a result of over 67 hours of endurance. With moderate use, that’s over two days without charging.

    V70 with a 6500 mAh battery also performs very well — it easily lasts a whole day of intensive use. The smaller capacity is compensated by a more energy-efficient Snapdragon processor and a smaller display.

    To charge both models, you need a USB-C cable and a wall charger with a minimum power of 90 W. For longer trips, it’s worth getting a power bank.

    Vivo V70 and V70 FE Display

    Both panels are 1.5K AMOLED with 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, but they differ in details.

    V70 has a smaller screen of 6.59 inches, but it is brighter — the peak brightness reaches 5000 nits, which is a flagship-level result. Schott Xensation Core glass protects the display.

    V70 FE offers a larger screen of 6.83 inches with a brightness of 1900 nits — still readable in sunlight, but the difference in direct comparison to the V70 is noticeable. The 10-bit panel displays a billion colors in the P3 color gamut.

    Good to know: If you often use your phone outdoors, the 5000 nits in the V70 makes a huge difference in readability in direct sunlight.

    Design and Durability

    Vivo V70 is compact — 157.5 x 74.3 mm and weighs only 187 g. The aluminum frame with a glass or plastic back (depending on the variant) makes it feel secure in hand. Available colors are Golden Hour (sunset gradient) and Alpine Gray.

    Vivo V70 FE is the Fashion Edition — 163.7 x 76.2 mm and 200 g. It features Darkness Glow technology: the back panel in the Muse Purple variant absorbs light and glows in the dark, changing color. Ocean Blue has similar luminescent properties. Despite the 7000 mAh battery, the casing is only 7.6 mm thick.

    Both models have an IP68 + IP69 certification — complete dust resistance and immersion resistance up to 1.5 m. IP69 means additional resistance to water under pressure — a rarity in this price range. Nevertheless, it is worth securing the device — cases and accessories for Vivo V protect the AMOLED display from scratches, which the IP certification does not help with.

    ModelRegular PricePromotional PriceVariant
    Vivo V703099 zł2699 zł8/512 GB
    Vivo V70 FE2099 zł1799 zł8/256 GB

    The difference is one thousand złoty — and that is the key question: is the ZEISS telephoto lens, faster processor, and brighter screen worth an additional 1000 zł?

    For comparison with the competition:

    According to the portal GSMManiak, both models are available in Polish stores (Media Expert, RTV Euro AGD, Neonet) with promotional prices at launch.

    Which one to choose? Vivo V70 or V70 FE

    Choose Vivo V70 if:
    – You take a lot of photos and need a telephoto lens (portraits, sports, concerts)
    – You care about the best gaming performance
    – You prefer a compact smartphone (6.59″, 187 g)
    – Screen brightness is important to you (5000 nits)

    Choose Vivo V70 FE if:
    – Battery life is a priority (7000 mAh)
    – You prefer a larger screen (6.83 inches)
    – You want to save 1000 PLN
    – You don’t need a telephoto lens — digital zoom from a 200 MP sensor is enough for you

    Our choice: For most users, Vivo V70 FE for 1799 PLN (on promotion) offers a better value for money. The telephoto lens in V70 is great, but the additional 900 PLN is a significant expense if you’re not a photography enthusiast.

    Summary

    Vivo V70 and V70 FE are two well-thought-out smartphones targeting different needs. V70 is aimed at photographers — a triple ZEISS camera with a 3x periscope telephoto lens and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 for 3099 PLN. V70 FE focuses on durability — 7000 mAh, 200 MP sensor, and Darkness Glow casing for 2099 PLN.

    Both models share an IP68/IP69 certification, 90 W fast charging, Android 16, and solid build quality. Regardless of your choice, it’s worth taking care of protection — check out Vivo smartphone accessories at homescreen.pl.

  • The Best Controllers and Gamepads for Gaming — 2026 Ranking

    The Best Controllers and Gamepads for Gaming — 2026 Ranking

    The best controllers and gamepads in 2026 are the GameSir G8 Galileo (279 PLN) for mobile gaming, the GameSir SuperNova T4n Pro (199 PLN) as a universal wireless gamepad for PC and Switch, and the GameSir G7 SE (219 PLN) — the official Xbox pad. All three have Hall Effect sticks that eliminate the drifting issue.

    We checked the full range of controllers from GameSir, in the category controllers and gamepads, from budget models for 74.90 PLN to top-tier designs for nearly 300 PLN. Below you will find a ranking of the 9 best gamepads for gaming categorized into mobile, wireless, and wired controllers, along with a comparison of specifications and specific recommendations based on needs.

    What to pay attention to when choosing a controller?

    The most important parameters are the type of sticks (Hall Effect vs traditional), type of connection (wired, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz), polling rate, and compatibility with platforms. Below we discuss each of them so you can consciously choose a controller and gamepad suited to your needs.

    Type of connection

    • Wired (USB-C) — zero latency, no need for charging. Ideal for competitive gaming on PC and Xbox consoles.
    • Wireless (Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz) — convenience and mobility. Bluetooth works with phones and Switch, while the 2.4 GHz adapter provides a more stable connection with PC.
    • Mobile (telescope) — mounted directly on the smartphone via USB-C. Best for gaming on the phone.

    Analog sticks — Hall Effect vs traditional

    The Hall Effect technology uses magnetic sensors instead of mechanical potentiometers. The result? The sticks do not drift even after thousands of hours of use. By 2026, practically every decent controller should have Hall Effect sticks — and all models in our ranking have them.

    Polling rate (refresh rate)

    The higher the value, the faster the controller transmits data to the device. The standard is 125 Hz, but top controllers offer 1000 Hz — 8x faster reporting of stick positions and pressed buttons. You will feel the difference primarily in FPS games and fighting games.

    ParameterDescriptionWhat to pay attention to
    SticksHall Effect / traditionalHall Effect = no drift
    TriggersAnalog / digitalAnalog — better for racing
    ConnectionUSB-C / Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz2.4 GHz — lowest wireless latency
    Polling rate125–1000 Hz1000 Hz — fastest response
    Gyroscope6-axisUseful on Switch and for aiming
    VibrationsOne / two / asymmetricAsymmetric — best immersion

    Ranking of the best controllers and gamepads 2026

    We divided the ranking into three categories because the choice of controller depends on what you are playing on. We tested each gaming gamepad for ergonomics, responsiveness, and value for money. Below you will find the 9 best controllers and gamepads available at Home Screen — from budget models for 75 PLN to top constructions for nearly 300 PLN.

    FAQ

    Which controller to choose for your phone?

    If your phone has USB-C, the best option is the GameSir G8 Galileo (279 PLN) or the budget-friendly X5 Lite (129 PLN). Both offer Hall Effect sticks and zero latency thanks to a wired connection. For iPhone with Lightning or older Androids, it’s better to choose the GameSir G8+ with Bluetooth.

    Are Hall Effect controllers better than traditional ones?

    Definitely. Hall Effect sticks use magnetic sensors instead of mechanical potentiometers, which eliminates the drifting problem — even after thousands of hours of use. Traditional sticks wear out mechanically and over time start registering movements without being touched.

    Does the GameSir G7 SE work with PS5?

    No — the G7 SE is an officially licensed Xbox controller and works only with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Windows 10/11). For PS5, you need a DualSense controller or a compatible third-party pad.

    What controller for Nintendo Switch?

    The best options are the GameSir Nova 2 Lite (119 PLN) and the SuperNova T4n Pro (199 PLN). Both have a 6-axis gyroscope, which is essential in many Switch games, and a dedicated connection mode for the Nintendo console. Also, check out accessories for Switch 2 if you plan to upgrade.

    How much does a good gamepad for PC cost?

    A good PC pad with Hall Effect sticks can be purchased for as low as 74.90 PLN — the GameSir T3 Tegenaria Lite offers a polling rate of 1000 Hz and compatibility with Steam. If you want a wireless gamepad for gaming with full features, the SuperNova T4n Pro for 199 PLN is an excellent choice.

    Does the mobile controller fit every phone?

    GameSir telescopic controllers support phones with a width of 105 to 213 mm (G8+). This accommodates practically every modern smartphone — from the iPhone 15 Mini to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Before purchasing, check the specifications of the specific model.

  • The Best Controllers and Gamepads for Gaming — 2026 Ranking

    The Best Controllers and Gamepads for Gaming — 2026 Ranking

    The best controllers and gamepads in 2026 are the GameSir G8 Galileo (279 PLN) for mobile gaming, the GameSir SuperNova T4n Pro (199 PLN) as a universal wireless gamepad for PC and Switch, and the GameSir G7 SE (219 PLN) — the official pad for Xbox. All three feature Hall Effect sticks that eliminate the drifting problem.

    We checked the full range of controllers from GameSir, in the controllers and gamepads category on Home Screen, from budget models for 74.90 PLN to top-tier designs for nearly 300 PLN. Below you will find a ranking of the 9 best gamepads for gaming, categorized into mobile, wireless, and wired controllers, along with a comparison of specifications and specific recommendations based on needs.

    What to pay attention to when choosing a controller?

    The most important parameters are the type of sticks (Hall Effect vs traditional), type of connection (wired, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz), polling rate, and compatibility with platforms. Below we discuss each of them so you can consciously choose a controller and gamepad tailored to your needs.

    Type of connection

    • Wired (USB-C) — zero latency, no need for charging. Ideal for competitive gaming on PC and Xbox consoles.
    • Wireless (Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz) — convenience and mobility. Bluetooth works with phones and Switch, while the 2.4 GHz adapter provides a more stable connection with PC.
    • Mobile (telescope) — mounted directly on the smartphone via USB-C. Best for gaming on the phone.

    Analog Sticks — Hall Effect vs Traditional

    The Hall Effect technology uses magnetic sensors instead of mechanical potentiometers. The result? Sticks do not drift even after thousands of hours of use. By 2026, practically every decent controller should have Hall Effect sticks — and all models in our ranking have them.

    Polling Rate (Refresh Rate)

    The higher the value, the faster the controller transmits data to the device. The standard is 125 Hz, but top controllers offer 1000 Hz — 8x faster reporting of stick positions and pressed buttons. You will feel the difference primarily in FPS games and fighting games.

    ParameterDescriptionWhat to Pay Attention To
    SticksHall Effect / traditionalHall Effect = no drift
    TriggersAnalog / digitalAnalog — better for racing
    ConnectionUSB-C / Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz2.4 GHz — lowest wireless latency
    Polling rate125–1000 Hz1000 Hz — fastest response

    Ranking of the best controllers and gamepads 2026

    We divided the ranking into three categories because the choice of controller depends on what you are playing on. We tested each gamepad for ergonomics, responsiveness, and value for money. Below you will find the 9 best controllers and gamepads available at Home Screen — from budget models for 75 PLN to top constructions for nearly 300 PLN.

    Mobile controllers — the best gamepads for phones

  • Multimedia Screen Film — Ranking of the Best Films 2026

    Multimedia Screen Film — Ranking of the Best Films 2026

    The best multimedia screen film for cars is GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection in ceramic version (from 109.99 PLN) — it protects the display from scratches, maintains full touch responsiveness, and does not alter image colors. For drivers who are bothered by sunlight reflections, the matte version with an anti-reflective filter will be better. In our ranking, we included films for car screens dedicated to specific models with precise laser cuts.

    Multimedia screens in modern cars have increasingly larger diagonals — from 9 to even 17 inches. At the same time, they are exposed to scratches from rings, nails, and keys. Replacing a damaged display at an authorized service center costs around 3,000–8,000 PLN.

    A protective film for the screen for a fraction of that cost solves the problem for several years. In this article, we compare the best car screen films available in 2026, test the differences between the ceramic and matte variants, and suggest which film for a car display will work best in your vehicle.

    Why is it worth protecting the multimedia screen in a car?

    Car displays operate under much harsher conditions than smartphone screens. They are exposed to large temperature fluctuations — from freezing in winter to over 60°C in summer under the sun. Additionally, you handle them while wearing gloves, with dirty hands after refueling, or with shopping bags in your hands.

    A scratched multimedia screen not only looks worse but also makes it difficult to read navigation and information from the onboard computer. In premium cars, where the infotainment system costs several thousand zlotys, a protective film for the screen is a cheap insurance policy.

    A car display film also provides additional benefits:

    • Reduction of sun glare (matte versions)
    • Protection against fingerprints and greasy stains
    • Maintaining the car’s value when reselling or returning a lease
    • Easier screen cleaning thanks to the oleophobic coating
    • Protection against overheating — ceramic film filters some UV radiation

    Types of protective films for car screens

    Before you move on to the ranking of multimedia screen films, it’s worth understanding the differences between the available types. Each variant has its strengths and will work in different situations — just like with protective films for smartphone screens, the choice depends on your priorities.

    Ceramic film

    Ceramic film is a solution for those who want screen protection without changing the appearance of the display. The ceramic layer effectively absorbs impacts and scratches while maintaining 100% clarity and natural colors. The touch remains just as responsive as on a bare screen.

    Ceramic film for multimedia screens is particularly suitable for cars with high-quality OLED or AMOLED displays, where you care about accurate color reproduction — for example, in navigation systems with satellite views. This is the most commonly chosen type of protective film for screens in new cars.

    Matte film (anti-glare)

    Matte film for screens is the choice for drivers who often drive on sunny days. The surface with an anti-reflective filter eliminates light reflections, ensuring that navigation and multimedia remain readable even in bright sunlight. An additional plus — the matte texture reduces the visibility of fingerprints.

    The disadvantage of matte film is a slight dulling of the image. Colors lose some saturation, and fine details on the map may be minimally less sharp. In practice, the difference is mainly noticeable when directly compared to a bare screen. Matte film on a car screen works best in SUVs with panoramic roofs and convertibles.

    PPF Film (Paint Protection Film)

    PPF film on the screen is a premium solution, mainly known for protecting car paint. It has self-healing properties — minor scratches disappear under the influence of heat. It is thicker than ceramic and matte films, which translates to better mechanical protection of the display.

    It is worth knowing that not every PPF film is suitable for touch screens. Choose only variants designed for car displays that maintain touch responsiveness and do not interfere with sensor operation. PPF film for multimedia screens usually costs more than ceramic variants but offers the highest durability.

    What to pay attention to when choosing a film for a car screen?

    When purchasing protective film for a multimedia screen, check a few key parameters. Choosing the right film for a car display ensures that the protection will be effective and will not worsen the comfort of using the screen.

    • Fit for the model — the film for the car screen must be precisely cut for your display. Universal films cut with scissors never fit as well as those made with dedicated laser cutters.
    • Thickness — thinner films (0.1–0.15 mm) are less noticeable to the touch, while thicker ones (0.2+ mm) provide better mechanical protection.
    • Oleophobic coating — repels grease and makes it easier to clean the multimedia screen from fingerprints.
    • Touch responsiveness — check if the manufacturer guarantees 100% sensitivity of the touch screen.
    • Installation kit — a good protective film for the screen should include a cloth, squeegee, and cleaning solution.
    • Surface hardness — films with a hardness of 9H provide protection against scratches from keys and coins.

    Tip: Before applying the film to the multimedia screen, turn off the engine and wait for the display to cool to room temperature. A warm screen makes precise application difficult and can cause air bubbles.

    Ranking of Multimedia Screen Films 2026

    Below we present the best protective films for car screens available at homescreen.pl in the category car accessories. All products are from the GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection series — the only brand with dedicated laser-cut templates for over 6,000 car models. Therefore, in our ranking of multimedia screen films, we focus specifically on this series.

    1. GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection ceramic for Audi Q3 (2025–2026) — 199.99 zł

    Best premium protection — ceramic film dedicated to the new Audi Q3 with a large 10.1 inch MMI multimedia screen. The ceramic layer provides effective protection against scratches without altering the display colors. The flexible material perfectly adheres to the curved panel.

    The GrizzGlass ceramic technology is distinguished by the absence of optical distortions. The image on the screen looks identical to that without the film — which you will especially appreciate in the MMI system with high-resolution graphics. The higher price results from the larger protective area covering the climate control panel.

    2. GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection ceramic for VW T-Roc 2 12.9″ (2025–2026) — 129.99 zł

    The best film for the car screen from the VAG group — the new second-generation T-Roc features an impressive 12.9-inch display. The ceramic film protects it from scratches during everyday use while maintaining full brightness and color saturation.

    The precise laser cut ensures a perfect fit of the film to the shape of the multimedia screen — without the need for self-trimming. The installation kit included makes application easy even for those without experience in applying protective films.

    3. GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection matte for Tesla Model Y Juniper — rear screen (2024–2025) — 129.99 zł

    The best matte film for Tesla screen — the rear screen in the refreshed Model Y Juniper is particularly prone to dirt from passengers. The matte surface effectively reduces glare and fingerprints, which will be especially appreciated by children using the multimedia screen in the back seat.

    Tesla is a car where the display serves as the control center — from air conditioning to opening the trunk. A protective film for the screen is an absolute necessity here. GrizzGlass offers films for both the front and rear displays of Tesla in all generations.

    4. GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection ceramic for BMW 7 G11/G12 10.25″ (2015–2023) — 119.99 zł

    Ceramic film dedicated to the iDrive screen in the BMW 7 series. The 10.25 inch format is one of the most popular sizes of car displays in BMW vehicles — the same film for the multimedia screen fits many models with the iDrive 7 system. The ceramic material does not affect the operation of gestures and multi-touch.

    The BMW 7 series is a premium segment car, where a scratched screen lowers the resale value of the vehicle. A protective film for the screen for 119.99 zł is a minimal investment compared to replacing the display for several thousand zł in an authorized service.

    5. GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection matte for Skoda Scala 9.2″ Amundsen (2019–2023) — 109.99 zł

    Matte film for the Amundsen 9.2 inch system screen in Skoda Scala — one of the cheapest films in the ranking. The anti-reflective surface ensures that navigation is readable even in bright sunlight coming through the windshield. This is a great film for the car screen for drivers who travel a lot.

    Skoda is a brand where the Columbus and Amundsen multimedia screens have gained recognition for their intuitiveness. The matte film for the car display does not change the way of operation — the touch works exactly the same as on a bare screen. Installation takes literally a few minutes thanks to precise fitting.

    6. GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection matte for Android 2DIN 7″ radio — 109.99 zł

    If you have replaced your factory radio with an Android station, this screen protection film is for you. The universal size of 7 inches fits popular 2DIN radio models installed in Fords, Volkswagens, Skodas, Seats, and Opels. The matte surface protects the multimedia screen and reduces glare.

    Android radios are a popular upgrade for older cars — they add Google Maps navigation, Android Auto, and multimedia. However, the touchscreen in such radios is prone to scratches, as there is no factory protection like that used by OEM manufacturers. The film for the car display effectively and cheaply solves this problem.

    The choice between ceramic and matte film depends on your priorities. Both versions of GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection protect the multimedia screen equally effectively — the difference lies in the finish of the protective film surface on the screen.

    FeatureCeramic filmMatte film
    Image clarity✅ 100% — no distortionsSlightly matte
    Glare reductionStandard✅ Anti-reflective
    FingerprintsVisible (oleophobic coating helps)✅ Minimal
    Color fidelity✅ No changesSlight tinting
    CleaningEasy✅ Very easy
    Ideal forOLED/AMOLED screens, premium carsDriving in the sun, families with children

    Ceramic film for multimedia screen — choose this if you care about the best image quality. It works well in cars with vibrant color screens, such as new Audi, Mercedes, or BMW with OLED displays. It’s also a better choice if you often use the rearview camera — the image remains crystal clear.

    Matte film for car screen — choose this if you drive a lot on the road and the sun bothers you. Ideal for Tesla (large screens close to windows), SUVs with panoramic roofs, and cars used by families with children. The matte surface is also easier to keep clean on a daily basis.

    How to install film on multimedia screen — step by step

    Installing a protective film on a car screen is easier than applying film on a smartphone. Dedicated laser cutters eliminate the most difficult stage — trimming. Here’s a five-step guide:

    1. Turn off the engine and wait — the screen should be at room temperature. A warm car display causes air bubbles under the film.
    2. Clean the multimedia screen — use the cloth from the kit and cleaning solution. Remove every speck of dust — it will be visible under the film.
    3. Remove the protective layer — carefully peel the film from the backing, holding it by the edges. Do not touch the adhesive side.
    4. Apply from the top edge — align the film with the top edge of the screen and slowly lower it, smoothing it with a squeegee from the center to the sides.
    5. Remove bubbles — gently push out any remaining air bubbles with the squeegee towards the nearest edge of the screen.

    Note: Do not use alcohol-based cleaners on car screens — they can damage the anti-reflective coating of the factory display. Only use products designed for LCD/OLED screens.

    How to take care of the protective film on the car screen?

    After installing the film on the multimedia screen, it is worth following a few rules that will extend its lifespan. Proper care of the film on the car display ensures that it retains its protective properties for a full 2–3 years.

    • Cleaning — use a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels, which can scratch the surface of the protective film on the screen.
    • Products — use only LCD/OLED screen cleaners, without alcohol and ammonia. Available at any electronics store.
    • Sunshade — when parking in the sun, use a sunshade for the windshield. This protects both the film on the car screen and the entire interior from overheating.
    • Nails and rings — the film on the multimedia screen protects against scratches, but sharp edges of jewelry can damage it with overly aggressive handling.

    For which cars are multimedia screen films available?

    The CarDisplay Protection series includes dedicated protective films for multimedia screens for over 6,000 car models. In the offer of homescreen.pl you will find films for cars of the following brands:

    If you can’t find your model, check the category films for other cars — we regularly add new templates.

    Summary — the best film for multimedia screen 2026

    A film for the multimedia screen in the car is an inexpensive and effective way to protect one of the most expensive elements of the interior. In our ranking, the best option turned out to be the GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection series — available in ceramic and matte variants, with precise laser cutting and a complete installation kit.

    For drivers who value image quality, we recommend the ceramic film for the multimedia screen (from 109.99 PLN). If comfort while driving on sunny days is a priority — the matte film for the car screen with an anti-reflective filter will be a better choice.

    Order by 12:00 PM, and the shipment will be sent the next business day.

    FAQ — frequently asked questions

    Does the film for the multimedia screen affect touch functionality?

    No. The GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection films maintain 100% touchscreen responsiveness. Both the ceramic and matte variants are thin enough not to interfere with touch sensitivity or the operation of multi-touch gestures in car navigation systems.

    How long does a car screen protective film last?

    The film for the car display lasts on average 2–3 years with normal use. The lifespan depends on conditions — frequent temperature changes and intensive use of the multimedia screen can shorten this period. Replacing the protective film on the screen is simple and does not require a visit to a service center.

    Can I install the film on the car screen myself?

    Yes. All GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection films come with a mounting kit (cloth, squeegee, cleaning solution). Installing the film on the multimedia screen takes 5–10 minutes. The dedicated laser cut eliminates the need for trimming — just apply and smooth it out.

    Ceramic or matte film — which is better for the car screen?

    The ceramic film for the multimedia screen preserves the original image quality and is better for OLED/AMOLED screens in premium cars. The matte film for the car screen reduces glare and fingerprints — it works well when driving on sunny days. Both protect the display equally effectively from scratches.

    Is a film on the car screen legal?

    Yes. Protective films for multimedia screens are not subject to any legal restrictions, unlike window tinting. You can freely install a film on the car display without worrying about fines or issues with the technical inspection.

    How much does a film for a multimedia screen cost?

    GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection films cost from 109.99 PLN to 199.99 PLN depending on the car model and screen size. This is a fraction of the cost of replacing a scratched car display at a service center, which can reach 3,000–8,000 PLN.

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Wide — specifications, price, and release date

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Wide — specifications, price, and release date


    Source: Android Headlines / OnLeaks

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a foldable flagship with a 200 MP camera, a 5000 mAh battery, and 45 W charging — alongside it debuts the completely new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide in a passport format with a 3:4 screen. Both models are powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and the premiere is expected at Galaxy Unpacked around July 7, 2026.

    This is the first generation in which Samsung offers two variants of the foldable flagship. The Z Fold 8 is an evolution of the proven formula with significant internal upgrades, while the Z Fold 8 Wide is a response to the rumored iPhone Fold — a wider, more tablet-like format that changes the way you use a foldable phone.

    200 MP Camera — the biggest leap in Z Fold history

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 leaked renders — 200 MP camera module
    Source: SamMobile / OnLeaks

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 receives a camera setup that finally matches the flagship models from the Galaxy S series:

    • Main 200 MP (f/1.7, OIS, 1/1.3″ sensor) — a huge leap from 50 MP in Z Fold 7
    • 50 MP Ultra-wide with autofocus — up from 12 MP in Z Fold 7, supports 8K video recording
    • ~12 MP Telephoto with 3x optical zoom — carried over from its predecessor

    This is Samsung’s first foldable smartphone with a 200 MP sensor. Until now, the cameras in the Z Fold line were a compromise — now Samsung eliminates that difference. The 50 MP ultra-wide with AF is a particularly significant change — it enables macro photography and 8K video recording.

    Z Fold 8 Wide forgoes the telephoto lens — it has only two rear lenses (200 MP + 50 MP). This is a compromise resulting from a wider, shorter design.

    Tip: If optical zoom is important to you, choose the standard Z Fold 8. Z Fold 8 Wide targets users who care about a larger screen for multitasking and media, not necessarily photography.

    Z Fold 8 vs Z Fold 8 Wide — two formats, one line

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide CAD renders — passport format
    Source: Android Headlines / OnLeaks

    This is the key novelty of this generation. Samsung offers two different formats of the folding flagship:

    Z Fold 8 (standard) — traditional, tall format:
    – When folded, it looks like a tall, narrow smartphone (~6.5″ external screen)
    – When unfolded, it gives a tall rectangle (~8″)
    – Has a telephoto lens and S Pen support
    – For productivity, photography, and multitasking users

    Z Fold 8 Wide — new, passport format:
    – When folded, it looks like a short, wide phone (~5.4″ “passport” screen)
    – When unfolded, it gives almost a square (~7.6″, 3:4 aspect ratio)
    – No telephoto lens, but with faster wireless charging (25 W vs 15 W)
    – For media, gaming, and multitasking users on a wide screen

    The Wide format is a direct response to the rumored iPhone Fold, which is also expected to adopt wide screen proportions. Samsung wants to be the first with this format on the market.

    Battery and charging — finally real progress

    The 5000 mAh battery in the Z Fold 8 is a huge leap from 4400 mAh in the Z Fold 7 — the first real increase in capacity since the Z Fold 3. Combined with the energy-efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a new vapor chamber, this means significantly longer battery life.

    Wired charging 45 W doubles the power compared to 25 W in the Z Fold 7. Wireless charging remains at 15 W in the standard model, but the Z Fold 8 Wide offers 25 W wirelessly.

    Tip: When charging at 45 W, it’s worth getting a suitable wall charger with USB PD and PPS — the original Samsung charger is not included in the package.

    Design and Durability — Less Visible Crease

    Samsung introduces dual-layer Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) technology in both models with a laser-perforated metal support plate and new optical adhesive. The result? The crease on the inner screen is about 20% less visible than in the Z Fold 7.

    The construction combines a frame made of Armor Aluminum (10% stronger than its predecessor) with the Armor FlexHinge reinforced with carbon fiber (CFRP) — instead of titanium in the Z Fold 7, which reduces weight. The outer screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.

    The novelty is the foreign object detection system — sensors alert when dust or sand particles may damage the screen while closing the phone.

    The IP48 certification indicates resistance to dust and splashes — not immersion. With a weight of over 200 g and a foldable design, it’s worth considering a car mount that will securely hold the phone.

    Software and AI — One UI 9 with Galaxy AI

    Both models debut with Android 17 and the One UI 9 overlay. Samsung promises 7 years of system and security updates — until 2033.

    New features of Galaxy AI:
    Now Nudge — AI analyzes the screen content and proactively suggests actions (e.g., “add to calendar”, “call this number”)
    Ask AI in Browser — summarizing and answering questions about website content
    Photo Assist and Generative Edit — advanced AI photo editing
    ProVisual Engine — enhanced photo and video processing engine
    Samsung DeX and Flex Mode — full support for desktop mode and stand

    Launch and Price of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

    The launch of both models is expected at the Galaxy Unpacked event around July 7, 2026. Pre-orders will start on the same day, and sales will begin around July 22–24.

    ModelVariantEstimated price (USD)~PLN
    Z Fold 8256 GB1999 USD~8600 zł
    Z Fold 8512 GB2119 USD~9100 zł
    Z Fold 81 TB2419 USD~10 400 zł
    Z Fold 8 Wide256 GB~1799–1900 USD~7750–8200 zł

    Z Fold 8 Wide is estimated to be about 100–200 USD cheaper than the standard model — probably because it lacks a telephoto lens.

    Samsung traditionally offers attractive pre-launch promotions — trading in an old phone (especially Z Fold 6/7) can reduce the price by several hundred dollars.

    Summary

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Wide are the most ambitious generation of Samsung’s foldable flagships. Key features:

    • 200 MP + 50 MP ultra-wide camera — no more compromises in foldable phone photography
    • 5000 mAh battery and 45 W charging — a huge leap from 4400 mAh / 25 W in Z Fold 7
    • 20% less visible crease — dual-layer UTG with a laser metal plate
    • Z Fold 8 Wide — completely new passport format with a 3:4 screen
    • S Pen returns — after a break in Z Fold 7
    • Launch ~July 7, 2026 — sales from around July 22, price starting at ~1799 USD

    If you decide on Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Wide, check out accessories for Galaxy Z Fold at homescreen.pl — cases, films, and chargers will be available with the launch.

    FAQ — frequently asked questions

    When is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 launch?

    Galaxy Unpacked is expected around July 7, 2026, with immediate pre-order availability. Sales should start around July 22–24. Z Fold 8 Wide will debut at the same event.

    How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 cost?

    Estimated from 1999 USD (~8600 PLN) for the 256 GB variant to 2419 USD (~10,400 PLN) for 1 TB. Z Fold 8 Wide should be about 100–200 USD cheaper — starting at ~1799 USD (~7750 PLN).

    What is the difference between Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Wide?

    Z Fold 8 is a traditional, tall format with a telephoto lens and S Pen. Z Fold 8 Wide has a wider, more square internal screen (3:4), a shorter external screen in a passport format, but lacks a telephoto lens. Wide targets media consumption and multitasking, while the standard focuses on productivity and photography.

    Does the case for Z Fold 7 fit Z Fold 8?

    No — the changed dimensions, thickness, and module of the device mean that cases from the Z Fold 7 will not be compatible. You need dedicated accessories for the Galaxy Z Fold.

    Does the Z Fold 8 support the S Pen?

    Yes — the S Pen, according to rumors, is returning after a break in the Z Fold 7. The stylus is not built into the case — it is an external accessory. S Pen support has not yet been confirmed for the Z Fold 8 Wide.

    How many years of updates will the Z Fold 8 receive?

    Samsung guarantees 7 years of system and security updates — until 2033. This is the standard for Samsung flagships starting in 2024.

  • Top 10 GaN Chargers – Ranking of the Best Models [2026]

    Top 10 GaN Chargers – Ranking of the Best Models [2026]

    The best GaN charger in our store is the Tech-Protect NC240W-GAN (395 PLN) with a power of 240 W and four ports, which can charge a laptop, tablet, and two smartphones simultaneously. If you’re looking for something cheaper, 3MK Hyper Charger 33W for 49.90 PLN is a great everyday choice.

    GaN technology (gallium nitride) has revolutionized the charger market. Devices are smaller, lighter, and more efficient than traditional silicon chargers. In this ranking of GaN chargers, we have gathered the 10 best models available at homescreen.pl.

    You will find premium models costing over 300 PLN and budget options below 60 PLN. Each of them has been evaluated based on power, ports, charging protocols, and value for money. We also considered customer reviews and the experiences of the homescreen.pl team from daily use of these chargers.

    What is a GaN charger and why is it worth buying?

    A GaN charger is a wall charger that uses gallium nitride transistors instead of traditional silicon. This difference in material results in three key advantages:

    • Smaller sizes – a 65 W GaN charger can be the size of a traditional 18 W charger
    • Lower operating temperature – gallium nitride dissipates heat better, which extends lifespan
    • Higher energy efficiency – less energy is lost as heat

    In practice, this means you can have one compact charger instead of three different power supplies for your phone, tablet, and laptop. GaN chargers support the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard, which is a universal fast charging protocol supported by Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, and most other manufacturers.

    Tip: If your smartphone supports 25 W charging, a 45 W or 65 W GaN charger will be a great choice. You will charge your phone at full speed, and if needed, you can also connect a tablet or laptop.

    Check the full range of network chargers at homescreen.pl – you will find all GaN models from our ranking there.

    What to pay attention to when choosing a GaN charger?

    Before purchasing, it’s worth analyzing a few key parameters. Here are the most important criteria for choosing a GaN charger.

    Charging power (W)

    Power expressed in watts (W) determines how quickly the charger will replenish the battery. Approximate division:

    PowerApplication
    25–33 WSmartphone (one port)
    45–65 WSmartphone + tablet or ultrabook
    100–140 WLaptop + smartphone simultaneously
    200–240 WCharging station for the whole family

    Number and type of ports

    The more ports, the more devices you can charge simultaneously. However, remember that the power is divided among the ports. A 140 W charger with four ports will not provide 140 W to each of them. Manufacturers provide exact power distributions in the specifications, which we discuss for each model below. To fully utilize fast charging, you also need a good USB-C cable that supports the appropriate power.

    Supported protocols

    Key charging protocols:

    • USB Power Delivery (PD) – universal standard supported by Apple, Samsung, Google
    • Quick Charge (QC) – Qualcomm’s standard, popular in smartphones with Snapdragon processors
    • PPS (Programmable Power Supply) – required by Samsung for full charging speed
    • Super Fast Charging (SFC) – Samsung’s standard for 25 W and 45 W charging

    Compactness and Weight

    One of the main advantages of GaN chargers. Compare the dimensions of individual models, as the differences can be significant even with the same power.
